Conde de Hervias

Conde De Hervias is a project by Iñigo Manso de Zuñiga Ugartechea. Iñigo owns prestigious plots of old vines in Rioja Alta surrounding his home in Torremontalvo. His family has been selling to the likes of Campo Viejo for many years. When we met he told me about his idea to produce a classically styled Rioja from his oldest parcels in Rioja near his village of Torremontalvo.

The site is in the heart of Torremontalvo and many of the vines here pre-date phyloxera. These sites were planted by Don Nicanor Manso de Zuñiga, The Count of Hervías and his brother Don Victor Cruz founder of the oenology station of Haro. To their amazement, these vines survived due to the sandy nature of the plots. Conde de Hervias is made from a selection of these very old vines. These vines surround the estate and are bordered by the Ebro River.
